Katerina did not punish them, but instead chose to abandon the Witch's Heart of the Forest Witch. After all, even the healing power of the forest could not grant immortality, and this power was dispensable to her. The most important thing right now was to launch the war smoothly and to start the war from the moral and righteous high ground.

Katerina wanted to leave a significant mark on history, but it had to be for her wisdom and greatness, not for deliberately provoking war.

She also needs her people to fight willingly.

"What's the Dork royal family up to?"

Katerina asked.

The head handmaid, Mora Macmillan, who was in charge of intelligence, replied, "Our informants reported that they were very angry, believing that Tumen was making baseless accusations, and wanted to hold an international conference to prove their innocence."

"What about Lydia Griffiths?"

"She has successfully infiltrated Edenburg and climbed into Sean Dalk's bed. I believe it won't be long before the eldest prince falls into our trap."

“Very good, I can’t wait to set foot on the solid ground of Aidenburg.”

Katerina's lips curled up slightly.

Moira Macmillan, Julie Townsend, Bronya Peters, and Sharon Bergman all looked up to her with admiration, seeing her as an incomparably dazzling presence, and were willing to die for such a queen.

Igor West also smiled, hoping the Queen would send him more test subjects.

“Igor West, how much do you know about the Knowledge Cult?”

Katerina suddenly asked.

Igor West lowered his head. “I’m sorry, Your Majesty, I know nothing about the Knowledge Cult, but my teacher is a follower of the Knowledge Cult. He is in a state of madness 80% of the time, which is why I have not joined the Knowledge Cult.”

"I hope those lunatics don't cause me any trouble at a time like this."

Katerina frowned slightly as she stopped in front of an empty, giant test tube, remembering another thing that worried her.

The witch Irene Mostia is a clone of Katerina created during the first phase of the experiment.

Because of her congenital defects, she was ultimately disposed of as scrap and recycled into the laboratory.

The recyclable body contained neither the Witch's Stone nor a soul.

Katerina has a part of her soul in the witch Irene Mostia, and because it was not completely retrieved, her soul is incomplete.

For this reason, Katerina ordered the destruction of all her clones, but still could not complete her soul.

She has absolutely no interest in food now, and has even lost her sense of taste. Of course, this doesn't affect her daily life at all.

But where did that part of the soul go?

Will this affect my ascension ceremony?

No, we must ensure everything goes perfectly. We must find Irene Mostia before the ceremony.

Irene Mostia must have hidden herself through some secret means; she is definitely not dead.

Otherwise, that part of the soul should have returned long ago.

Katerina thought to herself as she looked at Julie Townsend, one of the Three Knights.

Julie.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Have you found Eileen Mostia's whereabouts?"

Julie Townsend shook her head.

"Not yet. Are you overthinking it? We used B131. She couldn't possibly still be alive."

The B31 anomaly, also known as the Death List, is a place where anyone whose name is written on it dies instantly. It originated from the once-glorious Time Church hundreds of years ago, but was later labeled a cult and destroyed by the Life Cult and the Light Cult in alliance.

The Alchemists have conducted several experiments with it, proving that anyone who writes it on will die immediately. The only drawback is that repeated use will bring bad luck and danger.

“Julie Townsend, watch your language. How could Her Majesty the Queen be mistaken?”

Head maid Mora Macmillan sternly questions Julie Townsend.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have made excuses for my negligence."

Julie Townsend said, looking down.

"Search carefully, don't overlook any possible clues. If we don't have enough manpower, issue a bounty and let the sheriffs and bounty hunters search together. Don't take any chances."

"That's what head maid Mora Macmillan said."

"Yes, head maid."

Julie Townsend said.

Katerina continued observing in the lab for a while, then saw a writhing mass of flesh and blood. Curious, she looked at researcher Igor West and asked, "What is this?"

"The flesh bomb needs to be fused with the experimental subject to gain the power of flesh and blood."

Igor West said with a sinister expression, "If successful, it will create the perfect humanoid weapon that will be a nightmare wherever it goes."

“Mr. Igor, it’s fortunate that you’re in Tumen. If you were in Edenburg, you would be a formidable enemy to me.”

Katerina said calmly.

"It is also an honor to serve Her Majesty the Queen, and His Holiness the Pope sends his greetings."

Beneath Igor West's white hood, a wrinkled face revealed a chilling smile, along with his ever-fanatical expression.

In his view, Katerina was also his experiment, his most successful, outstanding, and perfect experiment.

"Please allow me to extend my greetings to His Holiness the Pope."

Katerina said politely, then turned and left.

The laboratory smelled suffocating, and even Katerina didn't want to stay any longer.

Four witches followed closely behind.

The Black Rose organization is now down to just the four of them. The other witches have been sent out, and some have gone out of control, like the Forest Witch.

The reason why the four of them were so devoted to Katerina was because they, like Renis, were deeply in love with her.

Witches are easily attracted to each other, such as the weather witch Antonia Madeline Megadalena and the necromancer Finnie Salles. Witches tend to believe more in love with other witches because they generally look down on ordinary people and their values ​​are different from others.

It's as if ordinary people in their eyes are all gray and white, while only witches have color.

Most of the noble girls currently imprisoned and tortured will soon become witches devoted to Katerina.

Therefore, a man like Locke, who exudes the aura of a witch, is unique to them.

Even Katerina would occasionally think of Locke.

When Katerina returned to her bedchamber, she suddenly asked,

"What has Locke Bemon been up to lately?"

"He should be on vacation, but it seems like Rene has arranged a lot of things for him."

"That's what head maid Mora Macmillan said."

"Oh? Renis is deliberately making things difficult for him?"

Katerina asked.

"No, Rhaenys didn't deliberately make things difficult for him; in fact, she valued him highly. Besides being an investigator, he's also a cook. It's said that he makes all of Rhaenys's food, and she relies on him a lot."

Head maid Mora Macmillan paused, then added, "They're already in that kind of relationship."

Head maid Mora Macmillan had always considered Rhaenys a rival in love, and she would never be vague when she could give a detailed report, especially since this was a report from her informant planted in the Bureau of Investigation.

"What kind of relationship?"

The clever Katerina didn't react for a moment.

Because she always knew what Renis was thinking.

"The two slept together, and not just once; they've been together almost every night lately."

"That's what head maid Mora Macmillan said without any hesitation."

Katerina paused slightly, looking at the head maid, Mora Macmillan, "Really?"

"real."

Head maid Mora Macmillan nodded emphatically; she was so happy when she heard the news that she couldn't sleep all night.

Renis, you're out!

Of course, she didn't mention that it was a clone of Renis.

Why should I explain this for her?

"It seems that Locke Bemon is indeed a very special person."

Katerina narrowed her beautiful eyes. "I want to see him tomorrow."

"Are you meeting with Renis?"

"Mora McMillan asked."

Katerina shook her head. "No, I want to see you alone."

Whom should we see first?

"Rock Bemon".
